The Samsung Galaxy A02 is a budget Android smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics as a part of its A series. The phone was announced and released in January 2021. It features a 6.5-inch 720p touchscreen display, and a dual camera setup, and comes with One UI 2.5 over Android 10. It had very compelling selling points such as a big display, massive battery, and cheap price. Still, its lacklustre camera, below-average performance, and embarrassing laggy, featureless UI, meant it has remained as one of the worst Samsung A series phones ever released. Even though most people did not like this phone, the company managed to sell over 18.3 million units after its launch.[5]

The A02 is constructed with a glass front and a plastic back and frame. This device is powered by the MediaTek MT6739W (28 nm) SoC with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and an PowerVR GE8100 GPU.
